Goodreads Description
We met in a trapped elevator.
Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie.
I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right?
At thirty-five, my life hadn’t taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting—I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen.
After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner—he also insisted on something else—that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy. He was a wealthy and powerful CEO with little interest in diapers or playdates. And since he didn’t want kids, I’d be on my own once his bun was in my oven, free to go my own way.
But once his baby was inside me, it was like a switch had been flipped, and I got a whole lot more than I ever bargained for.
My Thoughts
Baby Daddy follows 35 year old Jenna and her life hasn't gone exactly how she has wanted it to. She wants to have a baby and since she's not currently in a relationship she decides to go to a sperm bank to get more information about other options. Jenna's on her way to her first appointment when she meets Emmett because they end up stuck in an elevator together. Once he finds out what her plan is, Emmett suggests that he can help her out.
I was interested in this book because I read a book with a similar plot and really enjoyed it. However, to be honest I thought the way the agreement happened was a little weird. The part where a stranger offer to get the main character pregnant and she agrees without too much thought was a little too unrealistic for me. Once I got over that part I thought the story was a lot of fun.
Since the story is told in dual perspectives we are able to see how each of the characters think. This leads to having first hand experience of the frustration and doubts Jenna and Emmett feel when things are going exactly how they planned. I really enjoyed the progression of their relationship and being able to see when their feelings began to change from their initial agreement. The ending was a little rushed but overall Baby Daddy was a fun romance with lots of steamy moments.
